What is a dealership floor app?

A floor app is a mobile tool salespeople use on the showroom floor and lot — to look up inventory, check in walk-in customers, capture trades, and log what happened with each visit — so the store gets a record of foot traffic instead of losing it to sticky notes.

How does licence scanning speed up a walk-in check-in?

The salesperson photographs the customer's driver's licence with consent; the app reads the name, date of birth, licence number and address and fills the check-in form automatically — no typos, no photocopier, and the image is cropped to the card at capture and kept in private storage rather than left in a drawer.

Leave the desk. Not the system.

GhostDesk — the app that lives in every rep's pocket — isn't a separate tool. It's the same GhostDrive as your desktop, out on the lot with your salespeople. Start a walk-in at the desk and finish it at the curb, or start it on the phone and pick it up back inside — it remembers exactly where you left off. The whole lot, every check-in, every trade, one tap away.

Try it · tap through a real check-in

Don't take our word for it. Use it.

This is the actual flow, in your hand. Tap the highlighted steps: open a unit, scan a licence and watch the fields fill themselves, drop the customer on the floor, and work them to a sold. No sign-up, no video — the real thing.

1 · Find the car

Search the lot, open a unit, and check the customer in against it.

2 · Scan the licence

One photo fills the whole customer record — cropped at capture, kept private.

3 · Work the floor

Wait-time clock, test drive, and close it to a sale — synced to your CRM.

Start at the desk. Finish at the curb.

The floor app and your back-office GhostDrive are the same system — not two tools to reconcile at the end of the day. Begin a check-in on the computer, walk out to greet the customer, and pick it up on the phone right where you left it — then close it back at your desk. Your salespeople are never separated from the desk, and never chained to it.

Tools that don't slow the floor down.

Built for salespeople first — fast enough that they actually use it. And because they use it, every visit they handle becomes the picture you run the store on.

The whole lot, in their pocket

Full inventory — search, filters, photo galleries and specs — answered on the spot. The customer never watches your rep walk back to the desk.

Scan the licence, skip the photocopier

A quick photo reads name, date of birth, licence number and address into the check-in. Encrypted and cropped at capture — never a paper copy in a filing cabinet.

Every walk-in becomes a record

Each visit is checked against your CRM on the spot — were they on your site? applied already? — and lands as a lead with the vehicle of interest, not a note that disappears.

Trade-in at the curb

Scan the VIN, shoot the guided photos, and the trade starts appraising against real market data while the customer is still standing there.

Send cars by text

Build a shortlist of vehicles and text it as one link — then book the appointment, straight from the phone, with a calendar invite the customer can accept.

Work your floor to a close

A live board of today's ups with a wait-time clock — test drive, follow-up or sold — so nobody sits unhelped and every outcome writes back to the CRM.

For owners and managers · the other side of the same app

Every floor in the group, on one screen.

The same check-ins your reps log roll up into a live board of every rooftop — who's on the floor right now, how long they've waited, and what came of it. Foot traffic finally becomes a number you can manage.

The whole floor, live

Every store's ups on one board with a wait-time clock — so a customer sitting too long is a colour you can see, not a complaint you hear later.

Nudge a rep's phone

See someone waiting and tap once — the assigned rep's phone buzzes, with a read receipt so you know it landed.

Traffic you can report on

Walk-ins, test drives and close rate by store and by day — the up-log that used to live on a clipboard, now a number that reconciles with the CRM.

What it replaces on the floor.

GhostDesk is built for salespeople first. Managers get the board, but if the reps do not reach for it during an up, nothing above it is worth anything.

The first thing it replaces is the walk back inside. A customer arrives, and instead of leaving them by the car to go photocopy a licence and find a desk, the rep scans the licence where they stand and the customer record fills itself. The trade starts appraising against market data while the customer is still looking at it. The shortlist goes out as one text link, and the appointment is booked from the same phone, in front of them.

The second is the clipboard. The up-log that lived on paper by the door — and was rewritten from memory at six o'clock, if at all — becomes a live board with a wait-time clock on every customer on the floor. A manager can see a customer sitting too long as a colour rather than hearing about it the next day, and can buzz the assigned rep's phone with one tap. Walk-ins, test drives and close rate become numbers per store and per day that reconcile with the CRM instead of contradicting it.

The third thing it replaces is the reconciliation itself. GhostDesk is not a companion app with its own database to sync up at day's end — it is the same GhostDrive your back office is looking at. A check-in started on a desktop can be finished on a phone at the curb and closed back inside, because there was only ever one record. That is also why the floor's work shows up in the store's numbers without anybody re-typing it.
